I had my04 S for about 3 months and have 2300 miles. I'm planning on storing the car for winter but have a question about the oil change. I was wondering if I should wait until spring time and put in full 3000 miles for my first oil change or just change the oil before storing the car...

I was in the same boat last year. I had 1700 miles on my '03 when I put it away for the winter. I did not want to store it with the old oil. The old oil will have acids and other contaminants in it. I changed the oil and added a can of moly to it. (Heard this is similar to the additives Honda uses in the initial fill for break-in.)

Thanks for the link.

Castrol GTX has a high percentage of Moly in it.

Always change the oil before storage. If you are still within break-in I reccomend Castrol GTX.
